Le Wagon

I just finished this training, and even if I had a lot of apprehensions before the start of the course (web developer in 9 weeks ??!), They keep their promises! The lessons and the teachers are great and the atmosphere is really cool! Even though I finished... Read More the courses, I know that I could count on their community to progress and find work. I recommend 200%!

Excelente programa tanto en contenidos como el equipo que lo da, siempre apoyándote y preocupándose que entiendas todo. Me anote con pocos conocimientos y en 6 meses pude desarrollar una plataforma de punta a punta con Ruby on Rails totalmente funcional.... Read More

Thanks to Le wagon Lyon my ideas are not limited by technical issues anymore.
It was one of the best professional experience of my life. The courses are very well design and the learning curve very high. I was amazed by what we were able to create at... Read More the end of the 2 months.

With Covid-19 on the loose, a lot of my work had dried up. After talking with a friend and getting over the idea that I was too old to try being a developer, I decided to join Le Wagon Tokyo. I was pretty nervous when I first went but like a lot of times... Read More in life I realized that most people are also feeling nervous.

From setup on day one to presentations on the last day, I can honestly say I had a great time. Yes, I was tired from all the new information being thrown at me, but I always looked forward to the next day. Sometimes I wished there was more time to let the information absorb, and that is my one criticism of the bootcamp, but most likely this would be true for any.

The teachers were great and they are what really made the program such an enjoyable experience. They created an atmosphere that was challenging, yet friendly. They were always ready to sit down and work through issues with you while trying to get you to see the solution for yourself.

I was a student of the batch 299 in Oslo(08/2019–10/2019)
I join Le Wagon coding bootcamp as I was working on a personal project. The idea was to build a set of skills in order to improve my startup and to be able to code my business ideas by myself. ... Read More
The first impression that I got when I joined Le Wagon in Oslo was that the program was very well structured, and brick after brick I was gaining a lot of knowledge, adding new layer every week to finally be able to build a web application.
Also this was not just about knowledge, but a big focus was put on practice, every day you resolve code challenges to practice what you’ve learn in a morning lecture.
When you join Le Wagon, you team up with other students and you help each other. I really liked that feeling to be in the same boat with my teammates and share same objectives. I’ve met really nice people from diverse background during my bootcamp so it was also a really nice social adventure.
I have to say that the teachers team was great, really qualified, patient, enthusiastic about sharing their knowledge.
The final 2 weeks of the bootcamp are dedicated to building a real web application, I think it was the best part of the bootcamp when everything you’ve learnt comes together and you can build a prototype of your own idea from designing it, to coding to presenting it to the public. This was amazing, and I really had the feeling of achieving something concrete.
For all of this I could only advice to join this amazing bootcamp, it was an unbelievable experience, challenging and intense of course, but totally worth it

Before joining Le Wagon Oslo I used to work in tourism, hospitality, and translation, but I felt that the skills I gained at the university were not enough to compete in the job market. I heard about Le Wagon from a friend who managed to change her career... Read More and find a job as a software developer after finishing the bootcamp, so I decided to try myself in coding as well.
Le Wagon offers 9 weeks full-time web development course (or 24 weeks part-time course) that covers among others Git and GitHub, Ruby, SQL, HTML & CSS, JavaScript and Ruby on Rails. You can learn both the front-end and the back-end, which allows you to create the whole web app from scratch, instead of focusing only on one aspect of it. Many of my fellow students were interested in coding for some time before the course (but many were completely new to it as well), but they didn't know how to use the skills they have gained from different online courses and tutorials. And this is a great thing about Le Wagon's program: it leads you from the process of building software from A to Z, helping to put together everything you learned during the course and upfront. Once you are done with the bootcamp you have a great base to either start at the junior position right away or continue with self-teaching without feeling lost and overwhelmed.
Another important aspect of the Le Wagon program is the community. Bootcamp is not only a learning adventure but also a social experience that lasts even when the bootcamp is over. Being part of a huge (5000+) community of wagoners means that there is always someone you can ask for help, share job offers and experiences, and simply make good friends.
It is not an easy course, but if you are dedicated and hard-working it is worth it.

Got thrown out of the bootcamp for not understanding Ruby on Rails, when I had to...Teachers seem to care, but really the program sucks. Only 2 hours of class each day, and the rest of the day they leave you to your coding, while writing questions, through... Read More messaging the teachers, which is a system that really don't help to learn. No deadlines or nothing, but if you don't get the subject on time for the final projects, you will get thrown out of the bootcamp to the streets like you are worth nothing. Just selling lies and charging high for it. Not recommended at all.

Le Wagon is a special adventure, extraordinarily rich on learning the technique to code in the right way by asking the right questions from the start. You do not necessarily need to come at the beginning with a solid technical background or from a specific... Read More sector to understand the basics. Once you understand the basics of coding, the learning curve is exponential. From my perspective, I did not expect to find a training that could give me such in-depth knowledge of web development and all the other aspects that surround it. In addition, you also learn to code in teams straight from the start, which is great to progress and not to feel overwhelmed. The final projects, which are the cherry on the cake after spending several months of coding is the best way to materialize all the knowledge learned during the bootcamp. Hats off to the staff, teachers, and teachers’ assistants for the remarkable work they have done all along the bootcamp!

After graduating from hospitality school in 2019, I was looking for an entry point in tech. Le Wagon was the perfect fit in order to fulfil my desire of working in the hospitality tech industry. The skills I acquired in the 9 weeks both remotely and in... Read More Paris gave me all the necessary tools to help my career take off

After my engineering studies, I fell in love with product management and became fascinated by what digital products can bring to people. I pursued a training in Paris, the Lion Product Track, to discover and learn how a product is created and developed.... Read More But I also wanted to gain hands-on experience by building real products from scratch and I wanted to expand my technical skills to web development. This is why I pursued le Wagon bootcamp in Montréal. The course was extraordinary for me both professionally and for the human experience. I was very much looking forward to the last three weeks, when we worked in teams to build a marketplace and a web app, and I was not disappointed: be aware, it is very challenging, but so exciting and fulfilling at the same time! The staff was very welcoming and knowledgable. We were so lucky to know that whatever question we could have, no matter how complex it is, we would get an answer. This training really gave me the keys to learn more frameworks, libraries, and languages afterwards, and it gave me the confidence to start my professional life as a freelancer in front-end development.
